That would be good too.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CnC-ROCK:
what i meant to say was sony should release Z with 4.2. that is why i asked 'shoudnt they do it' :D:D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddiemc:
Yes, no worries, I understood that. I also tried to say: I too think they should release it with 4.2:)

Also looking at their pre production phone, their software looks pretty bad, so I don't think it would matter with "buggy" 4.2 or the base they've been developing it on. Atm their base looks bad, so either they fix it in two months, or they rebase it om 4.2

The thing is that: this is their flagship phone, 4.2 has been out for a while, 2 months is still a long time, they have a lot of Sony devs, so I still don't see how releasing a flagship in 2013 with dated android is a wise choice.

This seems to be their standard though: dated android. They did this with the x10 or whatever it was called, and i won't be surprised if they do it again now. But hopefully the new management is improved and we'll se updates in timely matter. Also if they keep the community support up, it won't matter since it will have dev support:)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrab:
XDA named Sony "2012 OEM of the year" for a reason, and that means a lot to me.

They are changing, listening, officialy unlocking bootloaders, sticking to their update pathway, helping the devs community a lot, etc.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
I believe the release of 4.1.2 is a marketing strategy.

Releasing 4.1.2 as initial firmware core and updating it to 4.2 then the next generation of android would make it look like they'll be providing subsequent updates. While if they release 4.2 as an initial firmware and update it to next android soon that would only look like they provided a single update which would invoke another rant from users like

"Sony promised 18months of support yet they only released 1 OS update!!!"

"Sony only released 1 update on their flagship phone they just release a device and loses interest on it after sales."

So yeah... if they make the initial OS 4.1.2 then that would make it 2 major updates while if they release 4.2 as initial OS that would only make 1 major update.

Like the logic says... Any number greater than 1 = many. :angel:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s-X-s:
As it says by the time S4 launched Xperia Z will have 4.2.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
The phone would have been in testing prior to 4.2's release... so early internal builds would have been based on 4.1.x anyway - so I can see why it's launching with 4.1. They would want to be on the ball with the 4.2 launch,,,, if it gets pushed back then people looking at buying this phone 3-6 months after launch are going to be wary about future updates.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Why strange? Show me an example of another device other than a Nexus launching with 4.2 in the same timeframe?

Show me an example of a device other than a Nexus or the Transformer tablets getting ICS prior to March or so of 2012? Show me an example of one that got an update prior to April/May or so that wasn't an *utter epic steaming turd*? All of the Transformer tablets first ICS updates were poor, Galaxy S II ICS was a steaming pile of **** for months... Hell, if you've got a carrier branded device it STILL is...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmallsXD:
Not to mention 4.2 is one of the more buggy releases from Google, are there any devices apart from Nexus devices officially running 4.2 yet?

[HTC One V] putkimonitori:
Noob question, again.

I successfully rooted my One V, GSM. I want to flash this custom ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1640995

What kernel i should i use, or do i need to flash kernel at all? And does that ROM have languages, i want to use finnish. More noob questions: In TWRP, do i make a nandroid backup, and is that i can flash the stock ROM if i am not happy with custom ROMs?
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
For Suprimo ROM,use this kernel

boot-TK-USB-201212251804.img from

http://www.mediafire.com/?e1chs7tzcsstc.

Its the sense kernel,works with sense ROMs.

Yes,flash the TWRP recovery and make a backup of the stock ROM before flashing anything.you can restore it whenever you like.

And yes,you will have to flash the kernel or your custom ROM won't boot.
[HTC One V] putkimonitori:
Thanks, i try it.
[HTC One V] putkimonitori:
And i selected "BACKUP" on TWRP, and backed up System, Boot and Data, Recovery and cache, is that enough, can i now proceed to flashing custom ROM and kernel? Does it matter what order i do it, first kernel or custom rom? Sorry for stupid questions but i am quite nervous so i need to confirm that do i do stuff correct, my first Android phone and now cannot afford a new so don't want to brick it! =)

And can i use Hasoon2000's All In One kit or is this done in TWRP to flash kernel, and how i backup the original kernel, or is it even possible? As you can see i am a quite big noob.. It's better to ask than to be sorry, right? So that should be a good kernel for this? Should i be in recovery mode, in bootloader or what if i use the All In One kit?
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
I prefer flashing kernel before flashing ROMs.the boot.img is backed up.if you open the backup,you will find the boot.img.

Yes,the toolkit will flash the kernel.
[HTC One V] putkimonitori:
So if i did backup those things what i said in earlier post, should i be fine? System, boot, cache, data, recovery are backuped in TWRP using the "Backup" menu.

Should i be in bootloader when i flash the kernel?

E: Does it take long to get forward from the boot screen (thats coming after that HTC queitly brilliant logo), now my phone is in this text which says "htc Desire HD" and "beats audio" in bottom of screen, i did flash the kernel.

E2: Never mind, it just took time, first time always bit slow huh? I find this funny that when i boot my phone i get "HTC Desire HD" text, although it is One V. Now just waiting that it unlocks my SIM card and sets up my phone. Glad to see all went fine. =)
[HTC Rezound] lamborg:
Hey guys

I am getting a deal on rezound. The one with iBeats included is like $30-$35 more than the one without.

I am not able to decide if I should go with the one with the iBeats or the one without. Any idea?
[HTC Rezound] darkside32280:
With ibeats definitely, best headphones I've ever had
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Personal taste I guess. I think they sound like absolute trash.

Edit: I guess I should clarify. They are bass heavy headphones, but they aren't your typical bass-heavies. They boost mainly mid bass (as opposed to low bass), and they actually suppress mids and some of the highs. They're very boomy, but it sounds like a muddy mess to my ears. There's no definition in the mids whatsoever, and the highs get lost in the mix.
[HTC Rezound] darkside32280:
I can kinda agree with strike. But with the right eq app ( power amp is what I use) it can be cleaned up nicely. And much better sound than your average cheap ear buds.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Yea, but for $40, I'd rather buy a set of mid-range Sennheiser CX 300s or Kilpsch Image S3s. For the $100 the iBeats would normally set you back, I'd get a set of Shure SE215s.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
if you are not getting them for free i wouldn't pay more for them. The build quality is trash im on my 3rd pair from HTC.

as shrike said you can get a better pair for the same price. Not worth paying more for something that was just added as a gimmick IMO

i to use poweramp and its the only way to make them sound less bassie.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
It has taken me 7 months with this phone to slowly perfect the EQ in power amp to get the maximum audio quality from the iBeats.
[HTC Rezound] Blakmagic:
I love mine. Best buds I have ever had. If you don't like bass don't get them. Personally I love deep bass.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
I don't mind bass heavy buds at all, but you can get that without the loss of definition you get with Beats.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
That's about the best answer to the OP's question so far. :D
[HTC Rezound] zkrp5108:
Skull candy lifetime warranty really good sound.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
i've had mine since black friday sale right after launch and no problems with mine. They work fine for what they are, mid-priced in ear headphones.
[HTC Rezound] jmez900:
Had mine for a year so far..durable build imo. Still sound like the day I got em. Beats are more of a gimmick but the best ones I've had in a while... Keep in mind I rarely buy headphones
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
They're the best ear buds I've ever had, but I've only owned those old ghetto iPod ones and some Skullcandy ones (smokin', FMJ and titan). The only sign of wear is some chipping of the paint.

Get mail at right moment is kinda important to my job:

I'm with this gmail (newest version): it's about a month, and it's not auto check, even when I open the app and refresh my self, it only get new mail at second or third try. I tried uninstall and reinstall, turn off and on syncing, restart, move in system app and back out, internal, link2sd, everything I can think of, it still not working. I check my sync setting and it's always hours since last sync.

My play store have similar problem too: if I install app from pc browser, I will need to open play store app before it start download and install.

Shoud I flash the rom again? Or sync setting get interrupted by something or google server have problem with my region?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
The new Gmail has a bug on ics as I read in play store. Try download older version and replace Gmail.apk in system/app set right permission. Btw I use pac rom with justunbean inverted gapps (Gmail 4.2.1 inside) and I have no problem with sync time. Sometimes my phone notify me earlier as my pc.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Are you sure you enabled auto sync in settings? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] foggyflute:
I will try older version right away, thanks Wenchy, maybe back to the version come with rom first.

Thanks mihahn but I'm not that much uninformed :laugh:

UPDATE: roll back to the version come with rom kinda fixed it, still much much slower than the app tab of firefox :)

The Vending.apk auto update itself as soon as I replaced it in adb, I dont mind open store every time installing something from pc that much, so I will let is slide.

UPDATE2: look like it's just temporary fix, It's been over 10 mins since the last new email and the app still not get any notification at all. I got one right away notification 20 mins ago, but that's all it take.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
Are you sure, that after replacing the gmail.apk the play store doesn't updated it to newest version?

Which rom do you use? It is ICS or JB? Maybe you should use modded gmail and/or playstore. (the modded one doesn't display in "my installed apps" in play store, so the store don't update it automatic. And i have v3.10.9 play store and this don't updates himself too)

Have you checked emails (maybe you have other email adress too) with simple email set to sync time to 5 min? This works? Or it has sync fault too? If this has a fault too, than it can be your carrier problem.

One more question: do you have lot of apps running/syncing (weather, rrs, email, gmail, facebook, twitter app/widgets)

Lot of gmail apks are here: [App] Patched Gmail
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] foggyflute:
Right now I'm give up on this issue (ICS) and trying other JB rom...

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] ssaaxx:
Steps:

(Yes, you need Jailbreak first.)

Download CsBox.zip from this thread.

Unzip the CsBox folder to your user's folder (in my case it's C:\Users\ssaaxx\Desktop\Scripts\)

Get Notepad++ and run it (from the App porting thread)

In Notepad++, Create and save a C# code snippet (A sample code snippet can be found in TestCSharp.cs.txt attachment)

In Notepad++, click "Run" menu --> "Run..." --> Input following text and run (or you can save it as a command shortcut if you want to)

C:\Users\ssaaxx\Desktop\Scripts\CsBox\RunCsSnippet.bat "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"​

There you go!

* Do use the right folder path for you.

------------------

How does it work?

Windows RT ships with a CSharp compiler (csc.exe), except it's not working by default because of missing some referenced dlls.

So I commented out the missing references from the rsp file, and it worked.

After this it's just some basic scripting and Notepad++ integration.

-----------------

Edit: fixed a bug. thanks Calebsem.

Edit: Hide compiler output when compiling succeeds.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] ssaaxx:
Just to demonstrate what this "scratchpad" is capable of, I'll update this reply with some handy scripts:

1. Script to enable Adobe Flash for specified website / domain: EnableFlash.zip

...

* Download the zip and unzip the cs file. Load it in Notepad++ and run.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] smb_gaiden:
Thanks for the cool utility and guide! I was able to work it out to compile a multi-file .NET project. One snag that I hit in the endeavor was about the resources. ResGen.exe does not come on the RT version of Windows. I used my desktop to compile the various resources and then stuff them into the directory tree. At last, the program I re-built was completed and launched well. It consists of an exe and two dll files. All's well for that experiment. Unsure if I can make the time to do a clean room build of ResGen.exe for ARM. :(
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] MaliceX:
I'm surprised this topic didn't get as many posts as it did. Found this thread through a youtube video, and this has got to be one of the best kept secrets for code development on the RT. A quick replacement of the csc.rsp file after toying with permissions, and adding the csc.exe to my PATH basically allows command-line C# building.

Wondering if the missing DLLs actually appear on different versions of RT. Not that these specific namespaces are something I regularly use, but it would be nice not to have to comment things out this way. :)

whats a good stylus for the s3 ?

Dont want a $30 c pen ( rip off )

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy s3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SuperKerp:
i only have experience with a friends C pen and found it lackluster. i've been told they are all similar since the s3 doesn't have an active digitizer. the advice given to me was find the cheapest one and go for it. but yeah for the amount of money of the C pen definitely too much imho.

but i guess its a good alternative to touch screen gloves /shrug

[Sony Tablet S] Palijn:
Hello,

My Tablet S is in deep need of expert help to see the light of day...:crying:

History:

I've rooted it about one day after the working exploit was found, ran Condi's AiO tool to update, and everything went fine.

At once, I used the "reinstall to factory settings" in the Settings app, which gave me a happy - if somewhat unstable at times - tablet.

It suddenly stopped working and remained stucked at the Sony logo.

Having no other option, I restarted in Recovery (Power-Volume+), and tried to update the system from SD card :

- with latest Condi's R5a zip : signature error

- with stock encrypted Sony zip : update blocked (yes, I left the tablet running about 8 hours without a move from the progress bar)

In the Android Recovery, I then selected "Reset to factory settings". Which seemed to do its thing, except that...the tablet still was stucked at the Sony logo at boot.

Going to Recovery again...:eek:

E:Fail to read boot logo flad
E:Can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
(No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)

I can see the following device with ADB :

./adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF	recovery

and that's about all I can do with the tablet now.

./adb shell "ls /"
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

One word remains: PLEASE HELP !

Is there any way I can dump a working system on the tablet in this state?

Note: I'm not afraid of running anything arcane command/script/setup.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Strange because the shell binary cannot be found but it can be wiped.

It is possible that the System partition is gone.
[Sony Tablet S] Palijn:
Yes indeed, I'm pretty sure that the Recovery option "Restore to factory settings" did wipe partitions...and failed to write anything sensible to them afterwards, or to recreate them at all (if that makes sense : I am far from sure of what the whole process really does and whether this is an Android standard or Sony-proprietary).

So, I'm there with my half-baked tablet ... any kind soul with the know-how how to revive it? :D
[Sony Tablet S] dkitty:
sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I have had the expect same thing happened to my tablet s, all of sudden it stopped working, stuck on sony logo during booting, can't mount sd card in recovery mode, etc etc. Chances are your mother board is damaged. Might be a good time to send it to sony for repair. Good luck
[Sony Tablet S] <robin>:
since you have root,look here

how to use adb shell in recovery mode

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2081196

once you get shell,check you mmc device,and it's partitions

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2102704

any way,send your tablet to sony is a good chiose.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Data partition is still there though.

The recovery has its own shell for sure since you are rooted.

The recovery has its own binary and adb support.

Here is the boot order:

Bootloader>Kernel>Boot Animation>System

When the Sony logo flashes thats when it switches to the Kernel but since it did not do anything it is possible that there is missing files in the data partition.

Bootloader = On a component on the motherboard somewhere

Kernel = Data Partition

Boot Animation = System Partition

System = System Partition (Obviously)
[Sony Tablet S] <robin>:
maybe kernel is not on data patition.

kermel is in rootfs.which is split with inner mmc dev(or in a hidden partition)
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Yeah true but the question is did the Sony logo flash for a moment, if it did then it switched to the kernel successfully.

I cannot view your username in the quote above due to it using part of the tags used in programming languages.
[Sony Tablet S] Palijn:
Yes indeed, the Sony logo flashes (and that's a fairly nice indication for the right time to press Power again and enter Recovery afterwards!).

Anyway, the tablet froze from time to time just entering Recovery (screen with the green/white dots), then I was able once or twice to start restoring a system image from the original Sony encrypted-signed ZIP so gracefully provided by condi in his Google Drive , but the process froze at different places! :eek:

I guess there is definitely a hardware issue (such as a faulty memory chip, if not a grilled processor), so right away it went to repair.

If it comes ever back as "repairable and repaired" I'll inform here!

Thanks to all for the attempts at helping!:highfive:
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Every chip and processor has its own firmware so maybe somehow it became corrupted.

Don't you think default font size(in app drawer,settings) in official cyanogenmod Rom is very small????

Any way to increase it???

Or to ask developers to increase it a bit???
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
Settings > Display > Font Size

doesn't get much easier than that...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidlover123:
Ya i know that,but it do not increase size of text in app drawer.any suggestion for that???
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
Yes, it does.

But it's actually

Settings > System > Font Size

However the size difference in the app drawer is less noticeable than the rest of the system, but it does change.

If you try setting it to "Huge" you will see the text in the app drawer is bigger - but they limit the scaling so that the app names can still fit.
